Videos coming out: MMO FATIGUE
@11:28 yeah, that question needs to be answered. Did that question even get answered? I swear, I was scratching my head for a few minutes when going through that whole segment. 🤔
This was my favorite YouTube video in YEARS. I also changed my audio to Japanese after hearing Woke LMAO.
The clip of skyrim made me do a double take, because I just started playing that again this week.
I am having a shit day. I lose my job in 4 hours, I had to serve and eat lunch with my replacements, and a tomcat just sprayed onto a running industrial fan in my warehouse. It smells like Sauvignon Blanc in here.
I'm more confused about why they chose to go with a world ending threat again. Like my original theory before Dawntrail was announced was that Golbez would be the next antagonist which I'd be fine with. Instead we got a lizard with daddy issues who was pissed off he lost.
I genuinely never thought such a sentence would escape my mouth, honestly-
Holy shit. This was EPIC. Love the tone of the narrators voice, sounded to me like AI Sera at times. Not sure if anyone else thinks that. 😂
Things I liked about Dawntrail story:
-The respect and fear your character gets from the beginning of the story. Everyone can sense that you are the Nuclear option and no one wants to push the big red button. When someone finally does it should've been the finding out for the rest of the story. Subverting that hurt the pacing. I would've kept it till the final map. So the final map hit a little harder.
-Wuk's character arc is good. She goes from a blustering fool to a young but wise leader. Her realizing her limits and having her brother also become the leader to compensate for them was very wise. The biggest problems with her character are her characterization and her prevalence after her side story is over. It makes her unlikable and everyone was like, "Why are you still here?"
-Gulool Ja Ja believing that none of his children were ready to be a leader thus creating the trial to make them into leaders was a good idea.
-Sphene being a dark reflection of Wuk's love of her people was a good choice but she should've been on Zoraal Ja's team from the beginning. Everytime Wuk tried to talk with Zorall Ja it should've ended with us talking to Sphene. With the twist being that we were learning about the real antagonist from beginning.
This would also fix the issue of Zoraal Ja's intent. In the story he wants his father's approval but why did he want to expand? Was his nation so great that he wanted it to expand to make the rest of the world great? No. Did he believe that his nation could only be sustained with it's current prosperity if it continued to expand? No. They forgot how scary war is. So he wanted to go to war to remind them. This undermines why were are even participating in this trial. If you make the Sphene change then his reason becomes he knows about Sphene's intent and wants to save his people from that fate.
-The Dawntrail normal raid story is good so far.
The role quests (I haven't played the melee one yet) are a joke… There are even less stakes than the first half of the MSQ.
Gotta say, the amount of things you said about Erenville aligned very well with how involved in the Story ABOUT HIS HOMELAND AND CHILDHOOD BFF he turned out to be
While I"m one of those weirdos who overall liked Dawntrail's story (not LOVED, it was aight), even if I disagree with a good chunk of your points, I think having these kinds of discussions is very important. People should be able to express their opinions without being drowned in "YOU JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE STORY!!!" type shit. My biggest complaint: I really, really wish we left the majority of the Scions behind though. This was Krile's time to SHINE, and Erenville. Though I wouldn't have minded bringing G'raha, best boy.
Thanks for recommending the War Within you sold me on it.
The graphics update is dependent on what you made initially.
Definitely amplified the handsomeness of my miqote and the cuteness of my lalafell
Dawntrail in my eyes isn't really good or bad it just is. I had slighty more fun with it than ARR but slighty less fun than I did with stormblood.
I thought the new areas were beautiful and the actual worldbuilding around them were really cool. The part where you hang out with erenville being my favorite.
The over arching story felt dull but had moments i enjoyed.
Wuk Lamat had serious potential but i feel was mishandled leading to people disliking her and the story around her.
Sena Bryer is a really good voice actress but i feel like she was directed very poorly, i feel that way about all the cast, honestly the voice acting was just very lack luster and flat in general even from the seasoned characters.
At the end of the day I think dawntrail is gonna end up like stormblood, disliked at launch for being weaker than the last expansion but as new expansions come later down the line people will probably appreciate parts of it they hadn't before.
Regardless expansion was like 6 outta 10 for me. Still excited for the future, hopefully they can up their writing game for the epilogue patches and the next expansion.
That's too bad, but that's the great thing about personal preference, we are all free to like or dislike anything we want.
Thanks now I gotta play skyrim again..
Agreed, I posted my thoughts on the other channel though lol. But I been considering redownloading Skyrim to playthrough it again for the last week….Been enjoying Sparking Zero though…but that ending clip may be the push to just go ahead and at least download Skyrim xD
What a good Video WHAT A GOOD VIDEO !!!! Thank you a good day too you 😅
Endwalker ruined the story for me. Everything up to killing Zodiark as a throwaway boss was good. Instant shit afterwards. Dawntrail is just digging the grave deeper and I have no desire to touch it. Not to mention what a mess my main class, DRG has become.
Don't pause at 1:13, stay focused.
war within story is ass
3:44 It's not artsyle issue, its an engine issue, FF14 came out 2010 but failed and had to fully be completed back in 2013 and which they still use this old ass engine which still gonna be using for the next 10 years unless they managed to transfer shit to a new one. They can only go so far with graphics upgrades with this game.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
It was a badly told story. The concept was good, but for some reason the execution was terrible.
